<<and unless they come at us with NBC weapons, any further attacks will bring temporary disruptions, but the shock value will be gone.>>

Wouldn't rule this part out at all. They've had years to get their people and material in place. Unlikely they did it just to get off one shot (MHO only).

I think you are way wrong, another attack in the USA and there will be panic, four or more, it becomes a way of life. God help us all.

I think ANY more attacks in public places would have terrible effects on the economy. A few mall attacks and shopping STOPS. Bus attacks and bus travel STOPS. Trains, freeways, churches, schools, sports arenas, amusement parks -- hundreds of other areas in our FREE society are all possibilities. If you heard a bomb went off in a mall, would you go back? In several schools, would you send your children back? Intelligence must track these animals down QUICKLY and make their numbers smaller and smaller. Even terrorists find comfort in numbers. I imagine you have to have at least a little pep talk to blow yourself up. Why don't one of them suggest ol' Bin Boy strap some TNT on himself? He could be a martyr then. You know he WON'T, because he is like a TV evangelist like Robert Tilton who deep down only wants to USE others so they can STAY rich and in comfort and mostly keep their concubines.

I remain,

No way. If another "event" comes down...a bombing in a mall, chemicals in a water supply...whateva, people are going to know this is for real. And truly panic. I still believe that, as of now, most have compartmentalized this into a single event, and won't believe America is truly a coast-to-coast war zone until it happens again, close in time. BWDIK.
